Was Herod a good man?
There were several Herod's. The first was Herod the Great, who rebuilt the temple in Jerusalem and who ordered the slaughter of children in an attempt to destroy Jesus. (Mt 2:16; Lu 1:5) Obviously not a good person. Then there was Herod Archelaus and Herod Antipas, sons of Herod the Great, who were appointed over sections of their father's domain. (Mt 2:22) Antipas was a tetrarch, popularly referred to as "king," who ruled during Christ's three-and-a-half-year ministry and through the period up to Acts chapter 12. (Mr 6:14-17; Lu 3:1, 19, 20; 13:31, 32; 23:6-15; Ac 4:27; 13:1) After that, Herod Agrippa I, grandson of Herod the Great, was executed by God's angel after ruling for a short time. (Ac 12:1-6,18-23) His son, Herod Agrippa II, became ruler and reigned up to the time of the Jewish revolt against Rome.-Ac 23:35;25:13, 22-27; 26:1, 2, 19-32. Since these were politically involved, Christians who were politically neutral, were not popular among them, so generally they persecuted Christians. Also, the Romans were known for living immoral and deceitful lives. So, generally, "good"? No.
